New TV Show hosts Garden Shed
A garden shed in Buckinghamshire is to be the set for a new television programme. According to the Buckinghamshire Advertiser a ten-part show for the Country Channel is to be filmed in the shed in an Amersham garden.
Local retired headmistress Jamie Malden came up with the idea for the programme, which is to be called Talking Threads.
It will be about textile art and will profile local artists. "I was a Blue Peter child," the 52-year-old told the newspaper: "I absolutely loved the idea of making things and would always be collecting washing up bottles. Now I think I have finally found my calling." Ms Malden said she hoped to spread "the job of stitch" through the programme.
The series has already been filmed in her garden workshop with interviewees including artists Angie Hughes, Myfanwy Hart, Di Wells and Gilda Baron, among others. Talking Threads is not the first TV programme to be made in a garden shed - Channel 4īs now defunct Big Breakfast used to have a regular feature from a shed with inventor Trevor Baylis.
